    Old Town Hall + Historic Upper Market - Gelnhausen/MKK 🚴‍♂️
    Today's town hall of the Barbarossa city was first documented as a merchant house in 1333. Tobacco was also stored under the roof. This almost led to a catastrophe after a lightning strike in 1736, when the tobacco on the upper floor caught fire and was blown across the city. The rain that began to fall prevented the worst – and "Hail Day" is still celebrated today on August 15th.


    With its elongated Lower and Upper Market squares, five preserved gate towers, and parts of the old city fortifications, the former imperial city has retained its medieval character. Gelnhausen was granted market rights very early on, and many merchants and traders settled in the city or around the Upper Market square. 🚴‍♂️
